tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Even by WKYC bringing Leon Bibb back, the TEGNA-zation kind of weirds me out, seeing as how WKYC has, for the most part, been unscathed by corporate mandates. It actually makes WEWS just a tad more watchable, even though that station is a shadow of its former self. I can't wait to see what Gray does to 19.... they'll probably just make it even more mediocre than it is now.... 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/305/#findComment-209924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daybreak 288 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 WMBF is celebrating a decade of existence. Happy 10th Anniversary. My hometown market! I wish that Raycom would give them a new set (Wishful thinking). Mind you 10 years ago this was one of the best sets out rivaling WBTW. This station change the whole market by now all three stations have co anchors for the morning news and for early evening newscast (WBTW went solo anchor for a few years after Martha Hunn left at 5 in 2010). For years it was a sole anchor and a weather person but now all stations have 4 dedicated people for the morning show. As already mentioned they were the first station in HD for a couple of years. This station definitely made the market more competitive and that alone they have a lot to be proud of. Here’s to many more! 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/305/#findComment-209982 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad that I remember when they were "building" the station and the GM at the time was asking people to submit their suggestions on what they would like to see. I remember when they first launched. Can't believe it's been 10 years. I'm getting old. :/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/305/#findComment-209985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Folks, I had a brief chat with Jason Wheeler last night about being the soon-to-be John McCaa's successor. And this is what he told me via Facebook. "Thanks---but I'm sure they have a whole list of other candidates they are considering. Whoever it is will have some big shoes to fill." They may have a list of candidates, but I know who's getting the big seat... It's Jason. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/305/#findComment-210031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be deserving of the chair (if they let him sit ); at least he wouldn't be one of the new crop of no-name who's-that talking heads that are coming along at some stations..... 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/305/#findComment-210039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Well I'll be damned. This is what news COULD look like on WUPA in Atlanta. It's unclear if these videos are just online only and only to help add video content to WUPA's digital platforms, or if this is actually a test pilot for eventual on-air newscasts. I found this news piece that says it was produced from KTVT in Dallas/Fort Worth and has the Atlanta's CW 69 logo on it and some janky green lower 3rds that may have once been the O&O style but were butchered severely. The virtual set leaves a lot to be desired as well. http://launch.newsinc.com/share.html?trackingGroup=93075&siteSection=inform_oembed&videoId=34015744 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/305/#findComment-210048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love the feedback from loyal viewers.
